I really enjoyed the World Cup Semi Final last night between Spain who are the Current Euro Champions against Germany who despite having a young team have been strong throughout the whole tournament, I almost felt I was actually there in the stadium as I my spanish friend was endlessly shouting at the television and thinking he was really the manager.
Whilst the match was at half time I joined an online world cup forum where I could discuss my thoughts on the Spanish goal and who should be subsituted at half time. The World Cup has used Internet marketing to its full potential, not only to display previous games but offer all the stats and figures something that you dont get access to on television.
The World Cup has been such a success for South Africa and given the country the boost its needs to attract higher tourism levels.
Online retaillers have made good use of the internet whilst the World Cup has been on television. Making sure that there site is fully working with SEO to achieve the most custom and sales. Just think how many of those fly sounding trumpets they have sold in South Africa and over the internet. I has certainly made the vuvuzela a well known instrument!
If you are lucky enough to visit Durban I recommend you visit the newly-built Moses Mabhida football stadium, as this was one of the most impressive i saw on tv during the World Cup. My friend was visiting his parents and got to seesaw Spain play there first game against Switzerland which they were to get defeated there..
Talking to a friend after the match who works for a company who specialise in Ecommerce website design he was sure that the Netherlands were going to win the final.
Some of the football sites also have some fantastic web design too!
